The blood is also on the hands of the Republicans who ignored the overwhelming evidence presented even back then!

that he was going to get worse. Some of us surmised that he'd trash the Constitution and go for a dictatorship. Some talked about emerging fascism. The worst of everything is coming true.

GOPers didn't care, just as Trumpy-Boy doesn't care. They're all banking on Trumpy-Boy to win-- with Russia's assistance. And that's coming on strong. They're all ready to trash democracy. Too inefficient. There's not enough money for them in a democracy. There is a cabal of financial rulers ready to step in and manage the country. They mean business and they can commandeer law enforcement to put down rebellions. This BLM stuff was a test run. Trump will get a huge cut of the action. GOPers are all in.

If they make a mistake and allow for enough votes for Biden to count, then their house of cards collapses.

And acted as such. I listened to Michael Cohen last night and he explained it very clearly. Trump didn't expect to "win," he was totally unprepared, was aiming for international recognition and the opportunity to cash in. But now that he has "power," he's unwilling to let it go - and he sees himself as the next Kim Jong-un or Saudi prince - and a worthy pal for Putin.
